The Chairman of Progressive Insurance, Peter Lewis, is one of the largest financial
benefactors of left wing America.
He is a major donor to Obama,
numerous liberal candidates, the DNC, Media Matters and the Center for
American Progress.
Over the past decade, Lewis has given $25 million to the ACLU which is the leading opponent of the Patriot Act and every War on Terror policy.

The ACLU says Lewis was responsible for
their efforts to "stop the Bush Administration from trampling on civil
liberties."
In 2008 he gave $5.5 million which was matched by a similar contribution from George Soros to a political action committee promoting the Obama campaign.

He gave $2.5 million to Moveon.org in
2004, and paid for their anti-Bush TV ad which ran during the Super
Bowl.
Lewis is on the Forbes list of the 400 wealthiest Americans, and
his net worth is in excess of $1 billion.
He collects paintings of the
late communist dictator Mao Tse-tung.
Bill O'Reilly says Lewis is "working feverishly to ensure that the progressive battalions are supplied with plenty of resources and firepower to pursue their radical domestic agenda."
According to the Wall Street Journal, "The progressive left has spent the better part of a decade building an archipelago of tightly linked third-party groups: MoveOn.org, Media Matters, the Center for American Progress, their spinoffs and dozens of others.
"Bankrolled in large part by billionaires like George Soros and Peter Lewis, and along with more traditional institutions like organized labor and the environmental lobby, these organizations are effectively a shadow party that operates outside the orbit of the Democratic Party."
